I think this article about Toys R' Us getting out of the toy business is pretty sad. Not sad like typhoid fever sad, sad like deaf puppy sad. When I was a kid, Toys R' Us was the bomb. I used to live for the few times a year my parents would take us there (to get an indication of what we wanted for Christmas or birthdays). I still think Toys R' Us is the bomb. Every time we go there to pick up baby supplies, Geo and I get lost amongst all the neat toys. I mean they have Spiderman outfits now that shoot real web!!! REAL WEB!!! Okay not real, spun-by-spiders web. But it's web-like. In fact, this was me one of the last times we were in there:
This article on the name Matt "being sexier" than the name Paul struck me as a bit weird. And I'm not just saying that because I have a friend named Paul and no friends named Matt. But I mean, who bases their findings on something as sketchy as hotornot.com? The researcher determined that because she put the same pictures on with different names, and the name "Matt" got a higher rating than the name "Paul" then it must mean that people find men with names containing vowels formed in the front of the mouth sexier than those with names containing vowels formed in the back of the mouth. Um okay. It's great those MIT research dollars are being spent so well. Why spend money researching things like cheaper energy sources when you can be putzing around on hotornot.com and pretending what you're doing is legit. I actually think it may have more to do with the placement of the picture. If the first time the picture was circulated it came right after a really ugly person, the rater might be like "Okay this guy is really cute." But if the same picture comes after a truly good-looking person, then the rater might be like "He's aight." Hey you know what name I think is really sexy??? George. That's a sexy name. Brings to mind half-dressed, hottie men chopping down cherry trees.
You know what freaks me out? Female "teen idols" are getting worse and worse. You thought Britney and Christina were bad, but they were just hoochie-looking. Now here's Paris and Nicole and not only are they hoochie-looking, they're stupid, slutty and rude. Imagine what the female teen idols are going to be like when my girls are 15 or 16. I mean, I have every intention of trying to raise them properly so they don't look at someone like Paris Hilton and think that's who they want to be when they grow up. But you never know. I mean parents never think they're kids are going to grow up a certain way until they see them on the news. Forget it, this whole paragraph is pointless. I can already tell by the ingenius ways they get around my babyproofing that my girls are pretty damn smart. Diabolically so. They're going to read my weblog in 14 years and be like "Mom, you were actually worried that we'd grow up and want to be like these hoes???"
Moving right along... Are Geo and I are dorks because we're looking forward to watching the Olympics? I love the Olympics!!! Summer... winter... doesn't matter. But summer is probably a tad more fun since it's not as frequent. I still remember watching Mary Lou Retton win those golds in 1984. I was in the living room by myself, sitting on my couch and eating these teeny little scallop pieces my aunt fried up like it was popcorn. Actually, we were able to attend some of the track and field events that year, since the games were in Los Angeles. I still remember, it was my first time at the Coliseum. This year I'm especially looking forward to watching the games because they'll be in Athens, somewhere I've always wanted to visit (being that I've always had this fascination with Greek mythology). Hmmm... what else...
So Geo and I were strolling down the street and he was pointing out random graffiti along the way. You know what's annoying? Graffiti that's spelled incorrectly. It's like, if you're going to vandalize public property, at least spell things correctly. And use proper grammar. "Bush equal anarky" is just plain rude.
So I took another quiz and apparently I belong in the movie...
Lion King!
What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!)

Okay but I don't want to be the pig guy okay? Just because I eat a whole lot doesn't make me the pig guy. How perfect is that though? I get to roar ferociously and chase beasts up and down the Savanna before eating them, then go home and hang out with my family while the rest of the animal kingdom worships me. I think it's fate. I am a Leo after all.
